Coastal Styling For Your Dream Home

If you aspire to create a home of supreme comfort and relaxation, you can't go past the style of a coastal home.

Coastal style is one of the most popular interior design styles of the past 5 years. This style evokes feelings of long summer holidays and calming ocean breezes, signifying our love for the beauty we see in our natural coastal environments - no matter where you live.

From the moment you step inside a coastal or beach styled house, the features and treatments used throughout the home inspire the feeling of serene sunlit mornings or relaxed afternoons sitting by the ocean taking in the tranquillity and beauty of our coastline.

McDonald Jones home designs align effortlessly to this interior design style thanks to the open and flowing floor plans, flexible indoor/outdoor living, maximising natural light and airflow through each space. The light and airy feel of modern coastal homes appeal to Australian's, no matter where your home is located, for the clean, relaxed and carefree vibe they evoke.

Coastal Styling - The Four Subset Styles

The expert interior designers in the MyChoice Design Studio have defined Coastal Style as having an easy-going and unassuming style that can be personalised to reflect your preferred version of Coastal Style. 

The MyChoice Design Studio team have identified four leading subsets styles of Coast Style; Modern Coastal, Beach House, American Beach House and Bahama's. Each has unique and distinctive styling differences in furnishings, colour palettes or finishing touches. The one key element that is consistent across each is the calm and tranquil ambience of a home on the coast.

Coastal Colour Palette

The welcoming and soft style of a modern coastal home is created via a fresh colour palette of coastal hues and calming natural tones.

Tranquil ocean tones of sky blue, teals, and eggshell are accented by colours found in native vegetation and set against seafoam whites, plus shell and sand tones to create an unassuming style that pays homage to many elements of our natural environment.

Coastal colours fill a home with a calmness and serenity the entire family will adore, creating a holiday vibe for you every day. 

Coastal Home Textures

When it comes to building beach houses, the weathered timber beach shack is a highly sought-after design aesthetic. Inspired by driftwood, the use of weatherboards, panelling or timber cladding in either the interior or exterior add a beautiful coastal touch. 

Natural materials are used predominantly in coastal and beach house style homes to further deepen the natural aesthetic. Linen, cotton, rattan, wicker and seagrass accents amplify our connection to nature and the relaxed and carefree memories of holidays on our beautiful beaches.

Beach House Design 

The contemporary coastal home or beach house design focuses on function and practicality for easy, low-maintenance living. These homes create a soothing and seamless connection between the indoors and out with simple clean lines throughout such as recessed doors.

All it takes to create a spacious coastal haven is beautiful, expansive windows accenting your views and the free-flowing open plan for an effortless air of relaxation.

Coastal Decor

The essence of coastal styling is simple, relaxed and serene styling. Adding classic coastal accessories such as shells, handmade homewares and natural pieces to connect to the beach or coastal environment is an easy way to accessorise on any budget and allows you to bring memories of holidays into your everyday.
